Establishing VAT Defaults
To establish VAT defaults, use these components: VAT Defaults Setup (VAT_DFLT_SRCH_DTL) and Service VAT Sub-Search (VAT_DEF_SER_SEARCH). This section provides an overview of VAT defaults setup .
Page Name |
Definition Name |
Usage |
---|---|---|
VAT_DEFAULT_SEARCH |

|
VAT_DEFAULTS_DTL |
Enter VAT default information. The fields displayed, default values, and data required vary based on the VAT driver and VAT driver keys entered. |
|
VAT_DFLT_SRCH_COPY |
Copy data from an existing VAT default or service VAT treatment default setup to the current VAT driver and driver keys combination. |
|
VAT_DEFAULT_DTLSEC |

|
VAT_DEFAULTS_DTL |

|
RUN_LC_VATCHK |
Validate VAT default setup data and expose inconsistencies and missing default values. |
By providing common components for establishing VAT defaults for all installed applications that process VAT transactions, PeopleSoft software provides the tax expert in your organization the ability to see and access all VAT default setup from a shared menu. In addition, this same default setup can be accessed from the various application pages.
Note: Generate the VAT 3000 report after setting up defaults to validate VAT default setup data and to expose any inconsistencies and missing default values.
VAT Defaults
VAT defaults may be defined for many VAT drivers, and these VAT drivers make up all the levels of the defaults hierarchy. Common default records are used to store the hierarchical default data in such a way as to make retrieval of the appropriate defaults efficient. For example, a VAT default specified for an item, expense type, or product should be used before a default for a category or product group. Furthermore, within each VAT driver defaults specified by country and state are more specific and come before defaults by country only, which in turn are more specific and come before defaults for which both the country and state are blank.
You can establish VAT settings for all applicable VAT drivers using the VAT Defaults Setup component. You access the component by first selecting a VAT driver. The drivers available to you are based on the applications installed. A sub-search page appears on which you can enter more specific search criteria or driver keys. Clicking the search button accesses the VAT Defaults Setup page. The default VAT data that appears is determined by the combination of the VAT driver and VAT driver keys. You then enter the required defaults and any optional defaults as needed and save the changes.
Service VAT Treatment Defaults
If you need to establish default values for the additional VAT treatment determinants specific for services, you can do this using the Services VAT Treatment Defaults Setup component. Like the VAT Defaults setup component, this component uses VAT drivers to provide the default values at various levels of the hierarchy. For any applicable driver, you can define the place of supply of the service or the place where the VAT is liable, whether it is the supplier's countries, the customer's countries, or the place where the service is actually performed depending on the type of service. You can also specify whether the service is freight transport or other.
Understanding VAT Drivers, VAT Driver Keys, and the Default Hierarchy for VAT Defaults
The following table lists the VAT drivers and associated VAT driver keys in VAT default hierarchy sequence from most specific to least specific for the VAT Defaults component. This table also indicates which drivers also control defaults for the services VAT treatment:

This treatment is used for the transaction between an intermediary and the purchaser in cases in which a sale of goods exists between EU countries involving three parties: the purchaser, an intermediary (bill-from) supplier, and the actual goods supplier. Each party is located in a different EU country and registered in his own country, and not in either of the other two countries. The only difference between this VAT treatment and that applied to normal EU sales is that the supplier is required to print a different message on the invoice referencing the statute that applies to triangulation, rather than the one that references the statute for normal EU sales. |

Place of Supply Country |
If the transaction is for a service, these fields show the place of supply (the place where VAT liability occurs) country and state for the service. This value is used to help determine the VAT treatment. If you change these settings and click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button, the system changes all VAT default settings. |
Treatment |
If you change this value and click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button, the system updates only the VAT transaction type and VAT code, Record Input VAT, and Record Output VAT, where applicable. |
Treatment Group |
This field is available on the voucher header, AR pending item, and Billing invoice header VAT pages. It is also tracked on purchase orders, sales orders, and asset retirements so that the value can be copied to vouchers and bills, but it is not shown on the VAT pages. For the transactions in which treatment group is shown on the header VAT page, the VAT treatment values on all the lines for a given transaction must be members of the treatment group on the header. Clicking the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button after making a change to the treatment group does not update any other VAT defaults. The main impact of changing the value is on the validation of the VAT treatment on the lines. In addition, changing the treatment group on the header does not affect or change the value of the treatment on the lines. |
Examples
These examples illustrate the behavior of the VAT defaults:
Example 1
The user overrides the Calculate at Gross or Net field and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button. The system does nothing, because Calculate at Gross or Net is a VAT control field that does not affect any other VAT defaults. The user then overrides the supplier registration country and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button once more. This time the system adjusts all the VAT defaults except the change to the supplier registration country. This includes the Calculate at Gross or Net field, which the user must override again, if necessary.
Example 2
The user overrides the supplier registration country and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button. The system adjusts all VAT defaults except the change to the supplier registration country and supplier registration ID. The user then overrides the place of supply settings and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button once more. The system adjusts all VAT defaults except the service type, place of supply, supplier registration country, and supplier registration ID.
